My stay at Spectrum Holiday Apartments was mostly enjoyable. The views from my apartment were stunning, especially during sunset, and the location felt peaceful yet was just a short walk to all the action in Surfers Paradise. However, the second bedroom didn't offer much privacy due to the roll-out door, which wasn't soundproof, and the room itself could use some updates. Overall, it was a great trip, but a few minor issues held it back from being perfect.
